After hours of trial and error I had the stock shock working adequately.
In search of a more compliant ride I put on the 400/450 Progressive.
To me, it seemed like a better/smoother ride on the pavement.
But I've been riding some of the NC forest service roads, and IMO, the ride is still harsh.
I've decided to use the RX3 for my road bike in the mountains, where the speed limit is 55 mph, and road conditions are anything but straight and level.
For that purpose the RX3 is ideal.
For dirt and gravel the RX3's ride cannot compare to the "cushy" stock suspension of my DR 650.
I have been riding the RX3, the DR650, and my TW200 back to back for days.
The RX3 is most like a road bike.
The DR650 is the real dual sport, happy on the road or dirt.
The TW200 is the best for trail riding and single track.
Yes, I have seen all the off road videos of the RX3.
Probably not a popular view...my opinion....ymmv...
